I guess, I would agree. I was really hoping it was going to come in at the same price as the 7230 and they where going to knock the prices down on the old bluetooth ones. I think blackberrys are awesome, but a little pricey still with out a contract.

Wonder how hard it is going to find one of these when they first come out. I reallly do miss having a bluetooth headset or a bluetooth speakerphone for the car.

Probably they are trying to run down their 6230 stock so they can stop selling that model altogether, with the 7290 on the way you would have the 7230 as the standard model, 7290 as the next level up and then off to the sides you have the mainstream phone model in the 7100 and also the niche model 7730, more than enough of a range especially if you lot start to get the blackberry connect devices as well at some point.

6710 I meant... just because working somewhere where they buy hundreds of these things at a time, even $50 more per unit can add up. If I were forced to have a monochrome BB, I'd rather it be the larger one...
